Like that interview with Joe B!  Never heard the official story of the dog noises at the beginning of Sweet Willy Rollbar.

Yeah, that was an awesome interview!  I love how he described making physical devices rather than using traditional audio effects (that everyone else was using).

Stag and Stoner Witch have the best production ever

Agreed. The music was recorded to tape and they had BUDGET to work with. Creative peak in my opinion.

So true on the that front! 
Just to give a little perspective Sgt. Pepper's took about 5 months and cost almost $300,000 in today's dollars to make.
They spent 55 hours in the studio recording Strawberry Fields Forever...  :shock:

If you gave the Melvins three hundred grand to make an album just imagine the results!!
Not that they would be dumb enough to waste money like that ;)

Hopefully they'd make a triple album of silence with a plain black sleeve, and spend that year playing golf in Barbados.

Yeah but that was because they were doing stuff that hadn't been done before and the limitations of the equipment made things take ages. They could do that stuff in a matter of minutes now. The Beatles only took that long because that was how long it took. No other reason. Time spent in the studio doesn't necessarily equate to quality.

I think we all know what the results would be - it would sound exactly the same as the stuff they make now regardless of how much was made available. I bet they would still record digitally with Toshi.

I agree with all of that, but also, in the mid 60s through 70s, record labels were just hemorrhaging money, so they would just send their biggest acts into the  studio for months at a time- often the bands didn't have any song written before going into the studio. Now, bands almost always have the songs fully written before paying to enter a studio because there is no time to waste. And also, in the 60s and 70s, there probably was LOTS of screwing around in the studio. If you read Keith Richards autobiography and books like it, it seems like bands would use the studio almost more as a hangout spot than a studio.

I'm too lazy to search around and see if someone has already posted it in here, but the Buzz interview with Neil Hamburger is gold.

i'm not sure about that.
sound wise the three atlantic albums do stand out to my ears -
i don't think any melvins album ever sounded better since.
there is a reason why some studios are more expensive than others...
